What were those issues?
Better to start there than to talk about your ideas as to what the solution could be.
michaelkenward as I stated in the rest of the paragraph the issue is with DHCP.
I probably should have mentioned it, but to give a little more clarity on the issue, when I do not manually assign an IP address (10.0.0.x) the router gives them an ip address that starts with "169" (something like this 169.x.x.x). From my experience with Netgear (and other routers) this means the DHCP server is not working properly and is giving out a random IP address starting with "169".

I tried changing the settings on the IP Address range and even turned it off and back on a few times to ensure it was actually set to "On"
That's your interpretation of this unexplained "issue".
It does not tell was what is happening and what is going wrong on your network that makes you pin it down to DHCP.
Sadly, the word "issue" could describe anything.
michaelkenward so what is your interpritation of what was in the original post or what I added in my previous post? If you don't know or don't have any suggestions/questions to ask me for me to further explain or for you to help then please try and help someone else.I appreciate any help that I am given, but I don't appreciate unhelpful or time wasting comments. I have certifications from "CISCO" on both Networking and IT so I am not your average user. I am just a frustrated user that needs some help!
